Starting Off Another New Year
Whether you've been a rep for years, or have just joined and this business is a new venture, a new year is a great time to make goals and then plan on how you intend to realise them. I always find the process to be self-motivating. It's easy to become jaded after selling for a long period, and a new year provides a chance to revitalize your thinking and approach it with a fresh outlook.
For me, it's a chance to sift through and realise which things have worked for me, and which may not have been as successful. We are all different, and what makes somebody else successful may not suit our personality or talents. For instance, we have a few people on this team who make amazing baskets and gifts, but my talents with those are sadly non-existent. I have followed videos and step-by-steps, but my finished offerings leave much to be desired. Sometimes you have to accept that something is not for you, and that that is ok. Feeling you are a failure, because you cannot utilize a certain way to work your business, is self-defeating. There are so many ways to be successful with AVON, it's simply a matter of finding what works, and is the right fit, for you.
If you've not taken a look at the various training modules in the AVON U, now is a great time to make the effort and see all the new additions, and decide which will be most beneficial to you, and begin to work through them. They are geared towards helping you learn how to work your business, some offer product knowledge, many explain the various processes involved in selling or leadership. There is no "right" way to approach them, although for new representatives, I suggest working through those that AVON have collected together as a starting point.
If this is not your first year, now is also a great time to begin working on your taxes. By going through 3-4 invoices daily (even allowing for a couple of "just don't feel like doing it today" days, you can have the basics sorted in a couple of weeks, and then it's just mileage, donations and what I call "the small stuff" to finish and be ready by the time your 1099 comes from AVON (if you sold more than $5000) to be ahead of the game in filing your taxes. Even if you don't get a 1099, it's still worth filing, my first year, only 3 months in and hadn't really sold much at all, my deductions for mileage alone was around $600.
So, I wish you a successful and productive 2021, and hope that you have an awesome year and realize all your dreams!

Make no resolutions - just make plans
How do you want to grown in 2019?
If you are in Leadership, do you have a title level that you would like to achieve? What steps are you going to take to make it happen? How will you build your team?
If your goal is President's Club this year, what are your sales goals each campaign? How do you intend to find new customers? Will you re-vamp your, or start a new, blog to broaden your reach?
Look at your goals and break them down.
If your goal is to garner new customers, remember the Power of 3 and work it - if you can't do it every day then plan to use it however many days you think that you can. In person connections are the best, but you can connect with people by phone and also my texts and messaging through platforms like Facebook.
If you are wanting to team build, then look for people you know, who need money or are looking to add an additional income. Also look among your current customers who spend a lot with you and would welcome the discount, and also those who want more than they can afford.
Treat your business as if you were working a job for the x-hours that you allocate to it. Imagine a supervisor breathing down your neck, pushing you to greater productivity. Don't get so relaxed in that you can work around your own schedule, that you really don't spend any time "working" it but just seem to float on through just taking orders and not really doing much else.
Continually grow - challenge yourself and bask in your successes. If you try something and it doesn't work for you, no worries, try something else.
Have a wonderful 2019! I wish you much success in the next 12 months. Set your goals, make those plans to achieve them, and soar!

A New AVON Year - What Are Your Goals?
Everybody starts again, at $0 in sales and the first level to reach is $10,000 in sales awards and thus gain the President's Club level and a guaranteed 40% commission on your orders whether they are $5 or $500 (25% on fixed earnings items instead of 20%). Other perks of attaining the President's Club level include being able to order 3 of every demo item in the What's New book, each campaign, instead of the 1 allowed every representative, plus a get together where other achievements - top sales, team growth etc - are all recognised.
In Campaign 1 AVON is giving us double award sales points to help us get a jumpstart on our 2019 journey towards President's Club. So, if you have $25 in sales it becomes 50 points towards the 10,000 needed to achieve the goal, if you have $500 in sales, it becomes 1000 points, and so on. It's a great opportunity to start building those points!
In AVON, you can opt to sell, or to sell and "do leadership". Leadership has more responsibilities and needs you to want to build a team and then help those people to achieve their goals. Some people do not want to get into that side of the AVON business opportunity, and that's ok. This business is one in which YOU decide what you want to put into it and what you want to get out of it ...
however ...
I would like to suggest, that if you AVON goal is purely to sell, and to enjoy the benefits of a commission, the opportunity to get products ahead of customers via the demo "What's New" books, that you take a look at working towards President's Club, and thus get double commission on lower campaign sales, when you have them.
The baseline 40% commission (25% on fixed earnings items) applies to not only face-to-face orders but to those made through your e-rep store as well, so if a customer orders $80 worth of fragrance, make up and SSS, you would receive $32 in commission v. $16. If someone orders $50 boots, you'll get $12.50 commission instead of $10. Those extra dollars add up and mean MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.
If you are a representative who simply uses his/her AVON money to fund your own purchases, then look at it this way - a $200 order in a campaign would allow you to get more of your own wants.
If your goal for 2019 is Leadership, and you don't know how to start, contact me or your immediate upline and ask us for help, that's what we are here for, that's how we earn our bonuses. My "job" is to support you, in your business, to achieve the goals you make for yourself.
If you are already in Leadership but want to grow in title this year, begin by planning what you need to do in order to accomplish it and how you are going to work towards it.
Sometimes it helps by making a dream board, so that you see your goals every day and are encouraged to start that day afresh and with the mentality to "do it today".
You have to understand your "why" and stay focused on it.
Life gets in the way. We get sick, or the kids get sick. Family members or friends have trials and tribulations that can carry us away with them. We get exhausted. We end up over committed to what others need us for.
It's ok to take a step back and get through it, and then pick up again. That's the joy of having your own business. Knowing your "why" will help you get re-focused when you are trying to get back "on track".
Do you know your "why"?
I wish you all a wonderful 2019 AVON year, and that you achieve all you set your mind to. I know I am well blessed with knowing you all, and with the opportunity AVON has given me
